‘Game of Thrones’ Removes Starbucks Coffee Cup Mistake From “The Last of the Starks”

If you’re looking for that infamous coffee cup in Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4, “The Last of the Starks,” you won’t find it on HBO Now or HBO Go anymore. Over night, it seems that HBO went from joking about the gaffe to hastily erasing the craft services cup with digital wizardry.

Game of Thrones is famous for its meticulous set dressing, but eagle-eyed viewers spotted a rare mistake after this week’s episode aired. There was a coffee cup right there in front of Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke). Adding insult to injury, the cup appeared in the one shot that featured showrunners and executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss as Wildling extras. (You had one job! Well, technically two or three jobs that day…) Soon, the “Starbucks coffee cup,” which seems to just be a craft services cup, went viral.

HBO finally commented on the snaffu in a press release yesterday that seemed to intimate they were going to take the mistake with a bunch of good humor: “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.”

However, if you try to find the internet’s new favorite Game of Thrones character, Ser Coffee Cup of Craft Services, you will be sorely disappointed. The cup in question appears to have been digitally painted out of the frame, meaning Missandei and Rhaegal weren’t the only friends we lost on this week’s episode of Game of Thrones. We lost Khaleesi’s coffee up, too.

RIP, Game of Thrones coffee cup. You never got the hero’s funeral you deserved.
